Unemployment has been at or below (mostly below) 4% since the end of 2021.

4 years ago, Trump called it "joyous" &"stupendous" that unemployment was only 13.3%.

In the "booming" Reagan years, unemployment averaged 7.5%.

Pres. Biden is presiding over historically strong growth.

@rbreich Another viral toot comparing the current unemployment rate to the anomalous rate at the peak of pandemic lockdowns?

Trump’s unemployment rate was otherwise comparable to Biden’s. Surely an informed electorate is better than one filled the a different set of lies and half-truths than the opposition.

What happens when someone tries this argument against their Trumper uncle, and they go to Google to find out the truth?
